How to play Block Merge
Slide and merge matching tiles to reach the highest tile before time runs out.
Watching small tiles cascade into one massive number after a well-planned chain of merges delivers a satisfying payoff for careful planning.
- Use arrow keys or WASD to slide all tiles in one direction
- Swipe on the grid on touch devices
- Two tiles of the same value merge into one doubled tile when they collide
- A move only counts if it actually shifts the board, so plan ahead
💡 Keep your biggest tile anchored in a corner and build around it so you don't get stuck.
💡 Avoid sliding in a direction that scatters your high-value tiles away from their corner, even if it looks like an easy merge elsewhere.
